80s Apple computer were not speced for a long, useful life.


80s apple computers were highly upgradeable. Multiple expansion slots and 3rd party options.

It was a completely different ecosystem, but it was when Woz was making design decisions on the apple II


While Woz certainly made some good decisions todays PCs are incomparibly more upgradeable and have longer shelf life due to also changing the CPU to a better model or use 5 years from the future graphic cards.


I don't mean the specs but the quality of the hardware design itself.
